It includes the personal challenges of authenticity, self interest, self discipline, moral obligations related tojustice, duty, competence and common good. The emerging issues in leadership today are the conspicuous absence of human values, positive relationship, trust, faith and human relationships. Leadership is the result of an ability to persuade or direct man, apart from prestige or power that comes from office or external circumstances. Leadership is what leaders do in group. It is to inspire other to undertake some term of purposeful action as determined by leaders. It is an influence of relationship between the leader and follower, who intend real changes that reflect their mutual purpose. It goes without saying that "Managers are people who do things right and Leaders are people who do right things".

Abstract


In leadership we see morality magnified and the study of human relationship. It includes the personal challenges of authenticity, self interest, self discipline, moral obligations related tojustice, duty, competence and common good. The emerging issues in leadership today are the conspicuous absence of human values, positive relationship, trust, faith and human relationships. Leadership is the result of an ability to persuade or direct man, apart from prestige or power that comes from office or external circumstances. Leadership is what leaders do in group. It is to inspire other to undertake some term of purposeful action as determined by leaders. It is an influence of relationship between the leader and follower, who intend real changes that reflect their mutual purpose. It goes without saying that "Managers are people who do things right and Leaders are people who do right things". This article dwells uponhow leaders can create better organizations by initiating a mutually shared ethical culture with their followers or employees. They can generate positive relationships and cohesion develop which ultimately promote organizational culture. It is experienced that organizations scramble as they denigrate the value of their human capital. It is needless to say that companies often forget that it is people who make success or failures. Development of collective ethical culture and human values is the crying need of the time. In this article an humble attempt has been made to highlight the leadership style like selfless work, dedication, commitment, faith etc. The concept of "Work is Worship and Duty is God" has been focused, so that selfless work becomes an essential element in the role of a leader. Mutual love, trust, makes wonder and ultimate goal is the true realization of the almighty immortal soul. The feelings like hatred, anger,jealousy mayjeopardize the work culture in an organization. The wisdom of good things, godly love, mental peace, tranquil mentality will uplift the workers from fear psychosis of death. Internalization of peace and work will lead to perfect congruence between thought and action. The perfect congruence between thought and action of a leader makes him an integrated human being. Whatever be his leadership style it gives him a subconscious and integrated thought process by which he is able to function more rationally. There is motivation of workers through inculcation of human values as the former is a matter of human understanding. Moreover it is process of encouraging people to go towards meeting their aspirations and thereby realizing their hopes and dreams.
